RE: Antwort: [FW1] OT - newbie question about PING




Dimitris,

I agree with your assessment, that icmp can be used for all sorts of nasty
things.

The solution I usually implement is this: Allow only certain users/hosts to
use outbound ping and allow only the necessary icmp reply packets back in.
There's a FAQ at www.phoneboy.com on how to set this up exactly.

I think, since version 4.0 FW-1 is even able to do stateful inspection for
imcp?!


Cheers
Ralf G.
